Perhaps the most damning thing you can say about the Lions is they allowed Christian Ponder to look like an NFL quarterback. Rodgers, who has 22 touchdown passes in his last six games, should have a field day.

Arizona has been a top-tier pass defense, but Matty Ice is averaging 309.7 yards with 20 touchdowns in nine games.

6. Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins

RG3 was slowed by Pittsburgh and Carolina prior to his bye. The extra rest came at a good time. He should be ready to roll against Philly.

7. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts

Luck didn’t do much with his arm against Jacksonville, but he ran a couple of scores in. He will need to throw more against New England. The Patriots have allowed 285.3 passing yards per game and 19 touchdowns.

Rivers has thrown five touchdown passes in the past two games. Gates has scored in back-to-back weeks, and Danario Alexander has emerged as a deep threat. The Chargers will have their work cut out for them against Denver.

15. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals

The Chiefs are horrible, so Dalton probably won’t have to do the heavy lifting. I’m expecting a run-heavy attack, though Dalton should toss multiple touchdown passes.
